Do you think Connecticut should apply for a waiver from the Jones Act?

Poll Description

Powered by UHY

State officials are exploring the possibility of seeking a waiver from the Jones Act as part of an effort to lower electricity prices in Connecticut.

The century old federal law blocks foreign-flagged ships from moving goods between U.S. ports.

The Jones Act has long been criticized for the significant costs it imposes on the U.S. economy, but recently came to the forefront as one of the factors driving up New England’s energy costs.

Experts believe the law increases the costs of foreign-imported liquified natural gas (LNG) by 10% to 30%.

Gov. Ned Lamont highlighted the issue in his State of the State Address on Jan. 8, saying: “Hey Congress, rethink the Jones Act.” In the state legislature, Rep. Chris Rosario (D-Bridgeport) has proposed legislation that requests Congress to amend the Jones Act.
